There’s also a cost to transitioning to the new technology.

Normalizing arbitrary size removable media makes physical exfiltration much easier because no one is asking why you’re using an illegal technology in the government building.

Floppy disks are not able to identify themselves as a keyboard and release a payload of keystrokes on command, or hide entire soc computers complete with network adapters.

There is also the matter of retraining on an institutional scale, and if you think it’s as simple as “put this into the computer, not that” you’re woefully underinformed.

Just as an aside, it’s pretty fraught to compare a language transition caused by centuries of forced resettlement to switching the kind of computer thingy government employees use over the course of two years.

Unless dictated by the particular data in the disks, /mnt is generally used for system managed volumes and /media is used for user managed volumes.

If you do something else, stick with it so you don’t get confused.

The people calling for Biden to drop out are supporters of his party, the democrats, who recognize that he’s unfit and incapable of winning. They want him to be replaced by someone else to increase their party’s chances of victory.

No one is calling for trump to drop out because he’s looking more fit in comparison to Biden and he’s projected to win. No one would call for a candidate to drop out when they’re in the lead if they support that candidates party.

Criminal allegations, true or false, don’t enter into it because America has a two tiered justice system where the wealthy and powerful are less beholden to the law than the rest of us and because presidency requires the violation of myriad international laws, norms and human rights.

The job title might as well be War Criminal in Chief and none of the allegations leveled at trump are disqualifying.

Well that’s dumb.

The government can use whatever system it wants, and if there aren’t components on the market it can justify a make work program to domestically produce them.

Governments were able to run perfectly well without high density removable storage, why is it necessary now?

Why would it want to get rid of floppy disks?

It’s just mini pcie. As far as I know there isn’t any whitelisting.

They’re cheap little things, buy one with Linux support and see if it works!

Lol

The first image for wm8650 that comes up is a Debian boot logo.

why do you want to learn a gui for firewalld?

almost all the support and documentation is gonna be using the cli command firewall-cmd.

by swap them around i mean physically take the two drives out and put them in each others connectors. by interface i mean physical interface, like the plug or socket or slot they connect to the motherboard with.

the bios usually enumerates drives based on their position on the bus, so switching the connector they’re plugged into would fix the problem.

linux usually handles drives based on uuid, a unique identifier per device, so it wouldn’t mess up linux.

you didn’t specify if one was like a sata or esata or nvme and the other was different so i had to qualify “if theyre the same interface”.

alright, good news, you probably are using qemu. the disk images (that’s the hard drives for the vm) are usually in the .local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ in your home directory. if the images are .qcow2 files then you’re running qemu.

Even if you know how to do stuff, I’d avoid doing ostree on a universal blue derivative.

I been using Linux for 25 years and just recently embraced the “don’t break Debian” part of the backport manual.

Stuff you do and don’t document or don’t force yourself to recognize comes back to bite you years later when you can’t use the normal tooling in order to deal with it.

Anyway, good luck, it sounds like you’ll be fine.

Also, don’t jump straight into a universal blue derivative. Actually learn how to use Linux before you start in with something that relies on a bunch of convenience features.

Iotop will help you figure out what process is causing zfs to timeout when syncing.

Yes

Magnetic disks. The person who said ssds hasn’t tried it. Spinning magnetic disks lose their data much more slowly than any ssd cell.

Even 3.5” floppies do better than ssds.

Jokes on you, not thinking!

Alternately, since the vm has network access, just use ssh from your windows vm to scp your files from the windows vm to the Linux host.

Just turn off the vm (shutdown the windows install running in the vm, not pause), mount the vm block device, navigate to the file and get it that way.

Are you using qemu?

lets say youre right, and the president can’t do anything to stop arms shipments. simply forcing the (it wouldn’t be swift, the supreme court works on a set schedule) case would be better than rubberstamping the appropriations of our genocidal congress.

simply forcing the supreme court to rule would be powerful!

make them put their names on their genocide! even if the executive fails wouldn’t it be better to actually try everything to stop the genocide than to simply say “nothing i could do!”?

of course, if the executive branch were so weak there’d be no reason to fear project 2025, but i’ll leave that alone.

but there are tons of ways to hamstring aid, usually it’s not explicitly listed what aid will be sent in a bill, that’s left up to the executive. in that case de la cruz could send nonlethal military supplies like food, medical and replacement parts.

in the case that aid is specified, it can be slow walked as part of a peace deal, it can be deactivated or simply sent during adverse conditions that will ensure it never arrives.

psl has been running in state, local and congressional elections since 2008.

its astounding to me how many people reply to posts like this saying “you can’t win, so dont try!” or “its going to be hard and people will oppose you, so give up!”.
